 Thank You Santa!! December 30, 2007
I just received the nuvi this christmas, and I LOVE it! [The first 2 reviews are very detailed and described everything well.]
The bluetooth connection allows for a clear connection when talking on the phone. MSN direct is a great plus! I activated the first free year immediately. The nuvi 680 is a very very easy GPS, user friendly, bright, light and slim too. I appreciate the slimnest and the leather case that came with it, so that you take it out of the car. This is my first GPS and I did not have to use the manual other than to change the voice (could have find it without it but was eager to put a male voice instead of the standard female voice). I set up everything w/ the touch screen buttons - marvelous. Buy it and enjoy!
great December 30, 2007
Love it. The MSN gas prices do not include Arco gas stations which are usually the cheapest in the San Diego area. They seem to have only certain stations that must pay MSN to be included. This is the only disapointment.

I purchased this Garmin Nuvi 680 about a month ago. I've been using it almost everyday going to and from work. It has shown me many alternate routes at different points in my trip to and from work (80 miles roundtrip) that I didn't even know existed. The directions have been perfect, and when they say you can use it straight out of the box they weren't kidding. I ran across some backed up traffic due to an accident and simply turned off to a different street and the Garmin lead me around the accident and recalculated my trip so that I didn't have to spend 20 to 30 minutes waiting to pass the accident site. The MSN direct function for finding the cheapest gas in the area is a plus, as is the weather alerts. I could personally do without the area movie listings an theatres, but I could see how it could be a plus as well. The only problem I have with the MSN Direct is that it takes a while to load and you lose some of the information when you disconnect it. The only problem I've found is that the suction cup mount (to the dash or window) isn't always effective. Nothing worse than driving and having it fall down by your feet. However, there are alternate mounts to buy or you can have it in the seat next to you. I personally plan to attach some industrial strength velcro to the mount and no longer worry about that problem. I would definitely highly recommend this device. Another outstanding plus is the abilitly to download audio books from audible.com. If you have a long commute, this definitely aids in making the trip seem to go buy that much quicker.
Great GPS Device December 21, 2007
This is really an excellent GPS unit. It picks up the satellites within seconds and its navigation is generally always correct. My only complaint is with the MSN traffic and weather add-on. They are both pretty worthless. Everytime it has predicted traffic slowdowns, no slowdowns existed while I've been stuck in traffic elsewhere on the freeway and, of course, the unit did not pick that up. The weather is also unreliable. Two days in a row under cloudless blue skies the "current weather" said it was raining. The MSN traffic/weather feature is not particularly reliable. It appears that MSN still a lot of work to do.
Awesome GPS at fantastic price through Costco December 20, 2007

I was planning to get Garmin GPS for quite a while, but didn't feel urgency to do so. In the middle of December I noticed that Sharper Image runs special promotion $449.95 for Garmin Nuvi 750. Research revealed that 750 model doesn't have Bluetooth. Comparison through Garmin.com shows that 680 is probably the best model for USA. "The COOLEST Gadget".
I got ready to order 680 model through Amazon for the best Internet price of $555, but luckily went to the local COSTCO store. Believe it or not, it was there for $479.99.
I have played with it for only a few hours, but so far it is great. The only disappointment is that GPS didn't transfer Phone Book from our two cell phones PPC-6700 and HTC Touch. Otherwise it seems to be very easy to use and really helpful.
